EmergMemeHologram,

Yeah, I love the messages and philosophy of Star Trek, but Rick Berman the guy who produced a whole generation of shows was allegedly piece of shit.

It doesn’t make Jean Luc Picard anything bad character, it just makes Rick Bernan a piece of shit.

EmergMemeHologram,

I think with the British navy they hanged you for refusing service, but I haven’t decided if that’s preferable to starving.

EmergMemeHologram, (edited )

Cool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, well, I won’t be fooled again.

EmergMemeHologram,

Yes, my wife and I rewatched a few years ago and very much enjoyed the policitical aspects, we cared less about the later movies.

EmergMemeHologram,

We’ve developed better methods of shaving though.

EmergMemeHologram,

I bet Odo slimed between every molecule of Primmon and digested him alive

EmergMemeHologram,

Mario kart doesn’t have Jar Jar sticking his tongue into an electron beam.

EmergMemeHologram,

And pod racing!

EmergMemeHologram,

What’s the point of bagging to carry it and then drop it. You already did the awful part of bending down, staring at and smelling the shit, feeling its warmth and consistency with your fingers…

Then you drop it when it’s at its least annoying

EmergMemeHologram,

It’s not my paper, but:

This paper is mostly good at saying we need more research here - the CIs on those odds ratios are big.

Systematic under diagnosis would increase the chances of a null result for females

Why does this imply an anti-neurodivergent agenda?

There have been a lot of questions about why autism is more prevalent now than before (is it having a label and discussing tools, envoronmental factors, etc?). We’re seeing a lot of scapegoating, conspiracy theories, and misinformation about this issue. Having at least some evidence that yes environmental changes can affect ASD is important to understanding it.

EmergMemeHologram,

I definitely think the Vulcan’s plans and logic go beyond their first order actions. That’s why they lie and withhold so much, and offer to “help” so many species but actually stymie them, it gives them more time at the top of the food chain.

EmergMemeHologram,

I’m trying Enterprise but I’m not loving it. I don’t really connect with the characters except Porthos.

But DS9 took a while to get into, so maybe it gets better.

EmergMemeHologram,

I feel the same way but I never really thought about it.

It’s also why I don’t like musicals. I can’t just cut into singing (do they know they’re singing? Is it like that buffy episode?)

EmergMemeHologram,

Once you put it in the camera lens it’s really hard to get off, and with their production schedule it’s easier to just leave it on for the whole show.

EmergMemeHologram,

That’s just a side effect from when they flew the USS Rubicon through that subspace compression anomaly.

EmergMemeHologram,

Lwaxana is a great character if you’re familiar with TNG, she’s good on DS9 too but much better if you know more about her.

DS9 gets much better as you go on. The characters get better, and the plot gets quite good. You just have to get used to the long seasons compared to modern shows (but they make for great as meme fodder).

The ending is not like GoT, I liked it.

EmergMemeHologram,

It hasn’t been remastered like some of the other shows, so the quality is on par with a VHS tape or early DVD.

EmergMemeHologram,

The tough part of this is positioning a blank hole or extremely dense matter to get this curve, but not getting any of it on your shirt.

EmergMemeHologram,

Yip yip!

    By what logic does failing to stop an attack on foreign soil imply you should keep surveilling your own citizens?

    Logically isn’t this a stronger advice of “if you cannot stop an action with hundreds involved and multiple countries, what’s the point of all your surveillance?”

    EmergMemeHologram,

    My neovim config is unruly.

    I have a folder with config files that I source, one for plugin installs, one for custom commands and hot keys, one for themes (I have a script to manage light and dark modes by time of day), one for project specific file type augroups. I’ve got a bunch of scripts in my home/.bin folder that parse different project files into json on git commit, and then I use vim script and FZF to do custom completion helpers and jump tools with that data. Then there’s my snippets folder…

    I can never leave vim. It has taken over the pathways in my brain.

    EmergMemeHologram, (edited )

    This is so much smoother than my vim config and tmux config…

    My issue is socialism doesn’t resolve centralization of wealth.

    If you write a book and everyone buys it, you’re rich now. Your second book will do better with your name recognition too, so you get wealthier by reputation rather than effort or quality. This is the exponential/multiplicative impact of wealth.

    You need janitors and sanitation workers society and I doubt most people will just want to do it. Cleaning doesn’t contribute to the bottom line, you can’t say you cleaned $30 worth of value, so how much do you pay the janitor under socialist models?

    You can see the same greedy processes as capitalism in condo strata and other situations where people must share costs. We’re greedy shits and half of us will let the world turn to shit to avoid paying more than they have to.

    And what happens to people who want to produce things nobody wants? Sometimes this stuff pays off hugely like the math behind cryptography (which was nothing more than an academic exercise for like 100 years), but sometimes a person wants to spend all their time making macaroni Squidward vore content.

    I agree CEOs are overpaid, they’re overpaid because there’s a perceived lack of them because being a CEO is all about your pedigree. Shareholders won’t make Jeff the 18 year employee into CEO because they don’t know who Jeff is, and Sandy over there went to Harvard and has run 6 companies before, starting with the one she inherited or bought with her trust fund. That’s not really fair at all, and it makes capitalism worse too.

    I like the ideas of cooperatives and all that, but in my cynical eyes human greed is the center of the problem.
